Conserving and exploiting cocoa genetic resources: the key challenges Dr Nicolas Beaudoin

Conserving and exploiting cocoa genetic resources: the key challenges Dr Nicolas BeaudoinThe future of the world cocoa economy depends on the availability of genetic diversity and the sustainable use of this broad genetic base to breed improved varieties. Decreasing cacao genetic diversity (in situ, on farm and conserved in collections) is a serious problem, and all its many causes need to be urgently addressed: the destruction of the Amazonian rainforests, changing patterns of land use, the spread of pests and diseases, sudden changes in
